how do you go about telling people you are expecting baby no3?

[FillydoraTonks]

We have told a few people and they have been utterly, utterly, scandilised.

a few more have been "how will you cope "

am wondering about just NOT telling people and waiting til they notice but fear that this will cause offence.

thoughts? Its a tricky subject to broach, really, i feel. "hey, guess what, I've messed up AGAIN!"

tell them that two is soooo passe, and you will be having at least another two after this one

I was exactly the same as you. This baby was sooo not planned and I dreaded telling everyone about it. I got the usual, how on earth will you cope, oh my god are you mad etc.But I just looked at my 2 sons sleeping one night and thought how can another one be a bad thing? I am past caring what anyone thinks now, I know the people who care will be there regardless and all the other people who said snide remarks will be the ones cooing over the pram once he is here. Its your baby at the end of the day, hold your head up high and tell them you are having another baby and you are happy about it, that way they will (hopefully) keep there stupid comments to themselves.

I was rather traumatised at the time, so didn't say anything to anyone until a colleauge worked it out for herself. (I was about 14 weeks by then)

Then had to tell others. It was a bit but we got through it.

colleague.

I had been back at work from maternity leave for a week when I announced I was pregnant again.

I'm sure my boss was delighted to have employed me

Just tell them you are delighted to be having another baby, if they aren't happy for you sod them.

If they say "how will you cope" say well actually I was going to ask you to come round and do my housework that will shut them up

hey you know 3's great the best things come in 3's
